What it is

The chimney cake of the markets: sweet yeast dough wound around a wooden spit, rolled in sugar and roasted over coals until it caramelises into a hollow, steaming cylinder. Ingredients: flour, yeast, milk, eggs, butter, sugar, salt; cinnamon, nuts or coconut for coating; fillings (modern): ice cream, Nutella. Recipe: 1) Make a rich dough; rest. 2) Roll into ropes; wind around the spit in a spiral. 3) Butter; roll in sugar; roast turning over charcoal until amber. 4) Roll in cinnamon sugar; slide off the spit. Serve: warm and hollow — old Prague's favourite street perfume, especially at Christmas markets. Flavor: caramel, butter, woodsmoke. History: trdelník descends from Transylvanian-Hungarian kürtőskalács; the Moravian town of Skalica protects its version across the Slovak border too. See also: Svíčková, Bramboráky.
